Angiotensin (AT) II, endothelin (ET)-1, and atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) play an important role in cardiovascular regulatory processes under physiologic and pathophysiologic conditions. All of these agents are present in the pericardial fluid, and alteration of their pericardial concentrations mirror changes in the myocardial interstitium. Moreover, the composition the pericardial fluid may also reflect the myocardial interaction of these agents. The local myocardial effects of AT II on cardiac ET-1 and ANP production, as well as on cardiovascular function, was studied by intrapericardial (ip) administration of AT II (0.125-1.0 microg/kg) to the in situ dog heart (n = 8). Big ET, ET-1, and ANP [1-28] fragment concentrations were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in pericardial infusate samples and in peripheral blood before and after an AT II treatment of 15 mins. Systemic blood pressure (BP), heart rate (HR), and left ventricular contractility (dP/dt) were also recorded. In our studies, the pericardial big ET (but not ET-1) concentration was increased to a maximum value of 139 +/- 28 versus 74 +/- 12 pg/ml (control; P < 0.02) with ip AT II administration, with parallel elevations of the pericardial ANP levels (36.8 +/- 7.2 vs. 24.4 +/- 3.6 ng/ml; P < 0.05). The ip administration of AT II did not influence HR, and it elicited moderate changes in BP (BP(max), +14 +/- 2 mm Hg, P < 0.001; dP/dt(max), +10 +/- 3%, P < 0.02). The plasma levels of big ET, ET-1, and ANP did not change significantly. The results suggest that AT II promotes production of big ET and ANP in the heart. However, no detectable conversion of big ET-1 to ET-1 was observed within 15 mins. The myocardial formation of big ET-1 and ANP occurred, at least in part, independently of the changes in cardiovascular function.  相似文献

The cyclic patterns of hormones which regulate the activity of the oviduct in the cow have not been adequately reported. We studied progesterone (P4), estradiol 17 beta (E2), prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), prostaglandin F2 alpha (PGF2 alpha), oxytocin (OT) and endothelin-1 (ET-1) concentrations in the cow oviduct. Reproductive tracts from cyclic Holstein cows in the follicular phase (n = 5), post ovulation phase (n = 5) and luteal phase (n = 5) were collected at a slaughterhouse. Oviducts were separated from the uterus, the lumen vas washed with physiological saline, and the enveloping connective tissues were removed. The fimbria was then separated at first and then the rest was divided into 2 parts of equal length (proximal and distal). After extraction, levels of different hormones in the tissues were measured using double antibody enzyme immunoassays (EIAs). There were no differences in any hormone concentration between the 3 parts of the oviduct at any stage of the estrous cycle. The highest concentration of oviductal P4 was observed during the luteal phase and in the oviduct ipsilateral to the functioning CL. Oviductal OT was unchanged throughout the cycle. The highest E2 concentration was observed during the follicular phase in the oviduct ipsilateral to the dominant follicle. The oviduct ipsilateral to the dominant follicle during the follicular phase and ipsilateral to the ovulation site post ovulation showed higher levels of PGE2, PGF2 alpha and ET-1 than those on the contralateral side or during the luteal phase. The highest PGE2 was observed in the oviduct ipsilateral to the ovulation site during the post ovulation phase. The results suggest that the ovarian products (P4, OT and E2) and the local oviductal products (PGE2, PGF2 alpha, and ET-1) may synergistically control oviductal contraction for optimal embryo transport during the periovulatory period, and provide further evidence for the local delivery of ovarian steroids to the adjacent reproductive tract.  相似文献

Studies in intact animals have suggested that angiotensin II (AII) and antidiuretic hormone (ADH) increase the plasma concentration of atrial natriuretic factor (ANF). The purpose of these studies was to examine the effects of AII and ADH on ANF secretion in a rat heart-lung preparation under conditions where aortic pressure could be regulated and other indirect effects of these hormones eliminated. ANF secretion was estimated as the total amount of ANF present in a perfusion reservoir at the end of each 30-min period. A pump was used to deliver a fluorocarbon perfusate to the right atrium at rates of either 2 or 5 ml/min. In a time control series where venous return was maintained at 2 ml/min for three 30-min periods ANF secretion was 672 +/- 114, 794 +/- 91, and 793 +/- 125 pg/min (n = 6, P greater than 0.05). When venous return was increased from 2 to 5 ml/min ANF secretion increased from 669 +/- 81 to 1089 +/- 127 pg/min (P less than 0.01). The addition of AII to the perfusate in concentrations of 50, 100, or 200 pg/ml (n = 6 in each group) had no significant effect on basal ANF secretion or the ANF response to increasing venous return. Similarly, the addition of ADH to the perfusate in concentrations of 5, 25, or 100 pg/ml had no significant effect on ANF release from the heart. These results suggest that the ability of AII and ADH to increase plasma ANF concentration in vivo may be due to the effects of these hormones on right or left atrial pressure.  相似文献

We investigated the effect of the intravenous infusion of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) on the response of plasma arginine vasopressin (AVP) levels to intravenous infusion of angiotensin II (ANG II) in healthy individuals. Intravenous infusion of ANP (10 ng·kg(-1)·min(-1)) slightly but significantly decreased plasma AVP levels, while intravenous infusion of ANG II (10 ng·kg(-1)·min(-1)) resulted in slightly increased plasma AVP levels. ANG II infused significant elevations in arterial blood pressure and central venous pressure (CVP). Because the elevation in blood pressure could have potentially inhibited AVP secretion via baroreceptor reflexes, the effect of ANG II on blood pressure was attenuated by the simultaneous infusion of nitroprusside. ANG II alone produced a remarkable increase in plasma AVP levels when infused with nitroprusside, whereas the simultaneous ANP intravenous infusion (10 ng·kg(-1)·min(-1)) abolished the increase in plasma AVP levels induced by ANG II when blood pressure elevation was attenuated by nitroprusside. Thus, ANG II increased AVP secretion and ANP inhibited not only basal AVP secretion but also ANG II-stimulated AVP secretion in humans. These findings support the hypothesis that circulating ANP modulates AVP secretion, in part, by antagonizing the action of circulating ANG II.  相似文献

We examined the effect of rat atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) on ACTH, dibutyryl cAMP, angiotensin II and potassium-stimulated aldosterone secretion by dispersed rat adrenal glomerulosa cells. ANP inhibited ACTH, angiotensin II and potassium-stimulated aldosterone secretion with IC50's between 0.15-0.20 nM. Inhibition by 10 nM ANP could not be overcome with higher concentrations of these stimuli. ANP shifted the dibutyryl cAMP dose-response curve slightly to the right but did not blunt the maximal aldosterone secretory response. The sites of ANP inhibition in the aldosterone biosynthetic pathway for these stimuli were also examined. ANP inhibited activation of the cholesterol desmolase (CD) enzyme complex by ACTH, angiotensin II and potassium. Activation of the corticosterone methyl oxidase (CMO) enzyme complex by potassium was inhibited by ANP, however, activation by ACTH was not blocked. We concluded that: 1) ANP is a potent inhibitor of ACTH, angiotensin II and potassium-stimulated aldosterone secretion; 2) inhibition of ACTH stimulation is primarily due to lower cAMP levels and; 3) inhibition of angiotensin II and potassium stimulation reflects a block in the activating mechanism of the CMO and/or CD enzyme complexes, whereas CD but not CMO activation by ACTH is inhibited by ANP.  相似文献

Isolated calcium-tolerant rat ventricular cardiomyocytes were used to characterize the effects of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), Angiotensin II (AII) and their interaction on the myocardial contraction-/relaxation pattern free of interference from other types of cardiac cells. Binding of 125I-ANP showed a KD of 12 pM and approximately 600 binding sites per cell. At 37 degrees C (rate 140 bpm) ANP decreased the contraction maximum with an EC50 of about 70 pM, maximal decrease was 35%. ANP (10(-7) M) raised cellular cyclic-GMP from 0.76+/-0.12 to 1.32+/-0.13 pmole/10(6) cells (73%, p less than 0.05). Angiotensin II increased contractility by a maximum of 32% at 10(-7) M; the EC50 was 8 x 10(-10) M. AII markedly delayed relaxation (reduction of maximum relaxation velocity from 0.092 to 0.063 mm/s; p less than 0.05). ANP (10(-7) M) increased the effect of AII (10(-8) M) on contractility by 66% without changing relaxation parameters significantly. This unexpected interaction may be relevant in pathological conditions where both AII and ANP are stimulated, such as heart failure or secondary hypertension.  相似文献

Atrial natriuretic peptides exert actions on many key organs involved in blood pressure and water and electrolyte balance. Many of these actions result in a physiological antagonism of angiotensin. To investigate the morphological basis of this interaction, we have mapped the distribution of receptors for atrial natriuretic peptide and angiotensin II in a number of target organs, using 125I-labelled rat atrial natriuretic peptide (99-126) and 125I-labelled [Sar1,Ile8]angiotensin II. In the kidney both atrial natriuretic peptide and angiotensin II receptors were observed overlying glomeruli, vasa recta bundles (high densities), and the outer cortex (moderate density). In the other tissues studied, atrial natriuretic peptide and angiotensin II receptors were codistributed in the adrenal zona glomerulosa, cerebral circumventricular organs including the subfornical organ, organum vasculosum of the lamina terminalis and area postrema, and the external plexiform layer of the olfactory bulb. The concurrent distribution of specific receptors for both peptides at these sites provides the basis for atrial natriuretic peptide to exert a functional antagonism of the actions of angiotensin II on blood pressure and water and electrolyte homeostasis at multiple sites.  相似文献

AimsOuabain has been reported to increase the secretion of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) in vitro. However, the mechanism by which ouabain increases ANP secretion is not well known. Therefore, the purpose of the present study was to investigate the underlying mechanism of ouabain-stimulated ANP secretion.Main methodsA perfused beating rabbit atrial model was used. The ANP and ET-1 levels in the atrial perfusates were measured by radioimmunoassays.Key findingsOuabain (1.0, 3.0 and 6.0 μmol/L) significantly increased atrial ANP secretion in a dose-dependent manner, while the endothelin (ET)-1 levels were increased by the higher doses (3.0 and 6.0 μmol/L) of ouabain. Ouabain-increased atrial ET-1 release was blocked by PD98059 (30.0 μmol/L), an inhibitor of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK). Nifedipine (1.0 μmol/L), an inhibitor of L-type Ca2+ channels, completely abolished ouabain-increased ANP secretion without changing the ouabain-induced atrial dynamics. KB-R7943 (3.0 μmol/L), an inhibitor of Na+–Ca2+ exchangers, completely blocked the effects of ouabain-increased atrial dynamics, but did not modulate ouabain-increased ANP secretion. ET-1 significantly stimulated atrial ANP release in a dose-dependent manner. The effects of ET-1 and ouabain on ANP secretion were completely blocked by BQ788 (0.3 μmol/L), an inhibitor of ET-1 type B (ETB) receptors, but not by BQ123 (0.3 μM), an inhibitor of ET-1 type A receptors. Ouabain-increased atrial ANP secretion was blocked by PD98059 and indomethacin (30.0 μmol/L), an inhibitor of cyclooxygenase.SignificanceOuabain significantly stimulated atrial ANP secretion via an ET-1-ETB receptor-mediated pathway involving MAPK signaling pathway activation and prostaglandin formation.  相似文献

The effects of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), angiotensin II (ANG II) and angiotensin III (ANG III) on norepinephrine (NE) uptake were studied in the adrenal medulla of the rat. One microM ANG II and 10 microM ANG III decreased NE uptake while 10 nM and 100 nM ANP increased it. Subthreshold concentrations of ANP (1 nM) blunted the inhibitory effect of 1 microM ANG II but did not modify the inhibitory effect of 10 microM ANG III. The increasing effects of 100 nM ANP on NE uptake were partially reversed by subthreshold concentrations of ANG II (1 nM) and blunted by 1 nM ANG III. The interaction between ANP and the renin-angiotensin system could contribute to modulate the sympathetic function in the adrenal medulla.  相似文献

A study was conducted to measure the blood plasma concentrations of prostaglandin F2 alpha (PGF2 alpha), 13,14-dihydro-15-keto-prostaglandin F (PGFM), 6-keto-prostaglandin F1 alpha (6-keto), prostaglandin uterine artery, uterine vein, umbilical artery and umbilical vein in 24 cows from days 80 to 260 of pregnancy. Blood was collected during surgery and all prostaglandins were measured using specific radioimmunoassay procedures. Results indicate that PGF2 alpha blood levels are higher in the umbilical vessels and uterine vein than in the ovarian vein and uterine artery. PGFM and PGE2 showed a trend towards higher values in the umbilical than in the maternal vessels, but the levels of 6-keto and TBX2 were not different among the vessels studied. No differences across time could be observed in any of the prostaglandins measured, partly due to the great variability in blood levels among animals during the same stage of pregnancy.  相似文献

Angiotensin II (ANG II) and vasopressin (AVP) are two powerful vasoconstrictors, and atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) is a potent vasorelaxant. The changes in the density or affinity of binding sites for these agents that may alter target organ responsiveness in hypertension are reviewed. ANG II binding in mesenteric arteries was unaltered in one-kidney, one-clip (1-K, 1-C) and in 2-K, 1-C hypertensive rats, while in deoxycorticosterone acetate (DOCA)-salt hypertensive rats ANG II binding to blood vessels was significantly increased. A role of mineralocorticoids to increase the number of vascular ANG II sites in some hypertensive models is suggested. In spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) ANG II receptors were increased in young rats in the prehypertensive stage with respect to Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) control rats, but normal in older rats. AVP binding in the vasculature of hypertensive rats was uniformly decreased in inverse correlation to plasma AVP levels, but vascular responsiveness to AVP was exaggerated. Inositol trisphosphate production by blood vessels of SHR in response to AVP showed that increased AVP receptor-coupled phospholipase C activity may mediate in part the exaggerated pressor response in spite of reduced or normal density of receptors for vasoconstrictor peptides. Vascular ANP sites in 2-K, 1-C, 1-K,1-C, and DOCA-salt hypertensive rats varied inversely with plasma concentrations of ANP. Normal densities of ANP receptors in saralasin-sensitive 2-K, 1-C hypertensive rats correlated with ANP sensitivity, while saralasin-insensitive 2-K, 1-C hypertensive rats, which did not respond to ANP, had significantly decreased density of ANP vascular receptors.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献

The present study investigated the role of nitric oxide (NO) on atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) release stimulated by angiotensin II (Ang II) (10(-7) M) in superfused sliced rat atrial tissue. The use of N(G)-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME) at 10(-4) M, an inhibitor of nitric oxide synthase did not modify basal ANP release. In presence of Ang II (10(-7) M), we observed that L-NAME enhanced ANP secretion induced by Ang II. Furthermore, cGMP levels increased significantly in the presence of Ang II and was attenuated by L-NAME. On the other hand, the perfusion of 8 bromo-cGMP (10(-5) M) with Ang II reduced the effect of this octapeptide on ANP secretion. Secondly, we evaluated the effect of authentic NO on ANP release and observed that perfusion of NO reduced significantly the effect of Ang II on ANP release. We propose that the effect of Ang II on ANP secretion was modulated by NO likely via cGMP pathway.  相似文献

Blood pressure and sensitivity of blood vessels to vasoconstrictors are decreased in term-pregnant rats (20-21 days). To determine if changes in receptors for vasoactive peptides could account for these observations, receptor kinetics were measured for Arg8-vasopressin (AVP), angiotensin II (Ang II), and atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) in the mesenteric vascular bed of the rat throughout pregnancy. Receptors for AVP were statistically similar in the five groups of animals (nonpregnant; pregnant 9, 15, and 21 days; and postpartum). The dissociation constant (KD) for [3H]AVP varied from 0.41 to 0.52 nmol/L (NS), while receptor density (Bmax) varied from 310 +/- 110 to 455 +/- 135 fmol/mg protein for six experimental measurements. Similar observations were made for Ang II receptors where KD of 125I-labelled Sar1, Ile8-Ang II was between 0.60 and 0.97 nmol/L and Bmax between 215 +/- 30 and 250 +/- 40 fmol/mg protein in the different groups. 125I-labelled ANP (101-126) receptors were markedly modified in terms of number of sites. Bmax was significantly increased during pregnancy (9 days, 429 +/- 86; 15 days, 541 +/- 54; 20 days, 438 +/- 72) and decreased in the postpartum period (133 +/- 21) by comparison with the nonpregnant group (245 +/- 35 fmol/mg protein), while KD was similar in the different experimental groups (57 to 82 pmol/L). Despite these increases in receptor density, the vasorelaxant effects of ANP was only increased at 9 days of pregnancy.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献

There is evidence that analogues of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and angiotensin II (ANG II) occur in birds. The present experiments studied the adrenergic and osmoregulatory responses to synthetic ANP and ANG II in salt-loaded ducks (Anas platyrhynchos). Excretion of water and salt through the nasal salt glands was abolished by ANG II. This extrarenal, salt-retaining effect of ANG II was not altered by ANP. However, ANP did augment the diuretic response to ANG II. ANP also potentiated the stimulatory effect of ANG II on plasma norepinephrine. The data are consistent with physiological roles for native analogues of ANP and ANG II in adrenergic and osmotic regulation in the duck.  相似文献

The effects of epinephrine (E), norepinephrine (NE), angiotensin II (AII), arginine-vasopressin (AVP) and endothelin on plasma ANP levels were studied according to a latin square design in six 12-21 days-old conscious Jersey calves weighing 30 +/- 4 kg. The animals chronically-instrumented with a carotid catheter for blood pressure recording, received at 11.00 a.m. an i.v. right jugular continuous infusion for 30 min of two different sub-pressor or pressor dose-levels of each substance; E: 0.6 and 5.5 nmol/min per kg body wt; NE: 0.6 and 6 nmol/min per kg body wt; AII: 9.6 and 96 pmol/min per kg body wt; AVP: 0.6 and 69 pmol/min per kg body wt; and endothelin: 1.2 and 12 pmol/min per kg body wt). Control animals received, in the same way, the same volume (2 ml/kg body wt) of NaCl 0.9%. In Jersey calves, basal plasma atrial naturetic peptide (ANP) levels were around 5 pmol/l. Marked increases in this parameter were produced by all substances when given at the highest dose-level. The maximal rise of 600% was observed with AII; however on a molar basis, endothelin appeared more potent than AII and at the same dose-level, E appeared more effective than NE to increase circulating ANP (17.8 +/- 0.3 vs 9.5 +/- 0.1 respectively at time 70 min; P less than 0.01). The time-course of plasma ANP levels was positively correlated (P less than 0.01) by linear regression with the increase in blood pressure when pressor agents were given at the highest dose.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献

Secretory rates for immunoreactive atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) by 7 - 8 day-old primary cultures of atrial myocytes from adult rats (with myocyte contraction inhibited by tetrodotoxin (TTX)) were (a) constant for at least two hours, and (b) significantly slowed by forskolin (1, 5, and 25 microM), dibutyryl cyclic adenosine monophosphate (1 mM), or isobutylmethylxanthine (100 microM). The substantial rates of ANP secretion which persisted in cells rendered noncontracting either by inhibiting Ca2+ influx via reduction of external [Ca2+] to less than 10(-7) M or by inhibiting sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ release with 100 microM ryanodine were significantly slowed by 25 microM forskolin, but forskolin sensitivity was lost by cells exposed simultaneously to external Ca2+ concentration of less than 10(-7) M and 100 microM ryanodine. Quiescent myocytes whose ANP secretory rate was depressed by forskolin remained responsive to secretory stimulation by phorbol ester.  相似文献
